Where to find a Hexagon box modelling vid ???

While the result of the nierd modelling video is certainly a nice model, I don't particularly like the process shown there. Not enough "evolution" of the model volume.

Anyone have any comments on this ??? I didn't see many extrudes and face moves and such.

What I saw usually refer to as "poly-by-poly" method.

I'm curious if Hexagon is good for Box modellers.

It's top notch for box modellers. Are the Hex 1 movies still on the Eovia site? Or still on the tutes here?

Nierd foot video is in box modeling.
Hexagon 2 will have two box modeling tutorials, and I'll do post some of them later, but I don't think it will be the best ever, I don't really like this technic...
But most Box modeling tutorials for other softwares work with Hexagon tools

Thanks for the quick response. Your characters remind me of mine Thomas ... pretty wacky. Your modelling style is pretty unique. I did watch the foot video and it sure looks like Hexagon will do what I want.

I'm a Wings3D user looking to get into scupting detail on some of my Wings3D models after importing into Hexagon (2).

I posted an offtopic about Hex at the Wings3D site and one fella responded in a way that made me think I might only do edge modelling in Hex. Glad that's not the case.

I really like that you did some clean looking videos even if it means more data rate.
More fun to watch when they are nice and clean.

Can you guys show something that was most obviously made using lots of bitmap masks for displacement for finer detail ?????
